Over the last sixty years, human beings have made great strides in science and technology. One of the most developed sectors is that of new assisted reproductive techniques (ART). How far will you go? How perfect will your baby be? These are some questions people ask themselves nowadays when making the decision to have descendants. Determining to have children and becoming pregnant is a complex process. Psychological, social, economic, religious and even legal factors are involved in them. The objective of this article is to consider the advantages and disadvantages of using assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Fertility is the ability to reproduce, but even though nature has given all humans this ability, many times there are natural obstacles that prevent humans from being conceived. ART means the use of various artificial technical procedures to obtain a fertilized egg, with the union of the male (sperm) and female (ovum) gametes. This union can take place inside the woman's body (ovarian stimulation, artificial insemination or intracorporeal fertilization) or outside (extracorporeal fertilization). Artificial or assisted, the fact is that the human being with his talent and scientific development is involved in processes that should be natural, but for some reason are not. Technology, science and human talent combine through the wisdom of a superior Being, God, and consequently bring identical results to natural reproduction. Either due to infertility or the fact of not meeting the Male-Female conditions to conceive a child, the use of ART has been the answer to this problem in recent decades in all the often unregulated and uncontrolled gynecological clinics of the world.

Therefore, whether to use ART or not is a personal decision, taking into account all the aspects it entails. For many people there are advantages that outweigh the disadvantages. Nowadays, society is more morally permissible and cares more about personal needs than social consequences. While there is always concern about the limits of science, the most common thought is that "it's not a problem for us", it is law, religion and scientists who need to solve it. Despite the ethical problems caused by these techniques and from a practical point of view, the ability to bring happiness to millions of people who cannot have children is worth much more than any problem, however it is expected that in the future these techniques will progress.
